Ingredients:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast

salt and pepper

¾ cup plum sauce

½ cup orange juice,

2 inches ginger root, peeled

2 clementines or 1 small can of mandarin oranges, strained

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 TBSP cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400. Heat a large skillet over high heat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Brown the chicken on each side for about 3-4 minutes. While the chicken is browning, whisk together the glaze. In a small pot over medium-high heat combine the plum sauce, orange juice, ginger root, oranges and soy. Allow the glaze comes to a simmer then lower the heat. Once the chicken is browned pour about ½ the glaze into the pan and move to the oven. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes; flipping the chicken once and adding the remainder of the glaze half way through the cooking time (don’t forget to remove the ginger). Finish with the chopped cilantro.
